Kindergarten Philosophy Statement

We believe that children learn best in an environment where:

• time is dedicated to explore, discover, create, socialize, and learn from one another through meaningful and engaging hands-on, curriculum-based experiences
• family members are active partners in children’s learning
• experiential learning opportunities guided by students’ ideas and interests are integrated into the kindergarten curriculum
• thoughtful and meaningful choice is valued and leads to inquiry, depth and breadth of learning
• purposeful learning opportunities are tailored to students’ strengths and needs
• learning fosters independence, perseverance, and collaboration
